Wandavision has now concluded but there are still a lot of questions up in the air. Throughout this post, we’re gonna be breaking down Agatha’s plan, Ralph, what happened with the Doctor Strange cameo and more.
Obviously, we don’t want to Rune the show if you haven’t seen it so click off now if you don’t want any spoilers.
Agatha All Along
Even after finishing the series I have seen a lot of people confused over what Agatha’s plan was. The villainess made one of the biggest bangers of the 20s so far and Kathryn Hahn was spellbinding in every moment.
Many, myself included, believed that it would be revealed that Agatha’s husband Ralph had become trapped somewhere and similar to Wanda, she was trying to find a way to bring him back….with a massive Dong. However, this wasn’t the case and it left people scratching their heads over exactly what she was after.
Agatha’s Origins
Well in order to discuss this we have to go back to 1693, namely Agatha’s trial. During this, we learned that she had been dabbling in power above her station and after being sentenced she absorbed the power of her coven.
Agatha was clearly obsessed with power from a young age and when Wanda appeared on the scene she likely started to watch over her. Agatha revealed to Wanda that she had been following her for a while and she likely tracked her to Westview which is where she saw what she was doing in the Hex first-hand.
This is why she swoops in wearing her normal clothes and joins the sitcom and that absolute banger.
Hexing the Police
Now a big question over the series was who had hypnotised the policemen to ignore Westview. Though initially suspected to be Wanda, because this was outside the Hex we now know that Agatha was probably the one behind it.
This sort of sets up her plan which was to keep everyone on the outside oblivious to what was going on so that she could remain in the Hex with Wanda until she was fully drained similar to the boy in the Yo-Magic commercial.
Manipulating Wanda’s Story
Agatha also wanted to learn how Wanda was able to accomplish what she did and therefore the longer she kept her in the Hex the better. Now the best way to make her remain here was to have her gain emotional attachments to those inside it. After watching her create Vision, she subliminally hinted to her that she should have kids as this would make her remain behind…for the children.
When she started to question things she took a local of Westview and then had them masquerade as her deceased brother in order to keep her static. Knowing that Monica and Vision were also starting to uncover the truth she found ways to separate them from the character and started to sink her claws in.
Agatha eventually planned to reveal herself when Wanda was isolated and this is why she put Vision as far away as she could and also kidnapped her kids. This would make Wanda eventually attack her so that she could absorb her powers and become an even more powerful witch.
What Happened in the End?
But what happened to Agatha after the events of the season? Well when her plan failed, Wanda left her trapped in the illusion of being a nosey neighbour.
I’m not sure where she would go as we now know that Ralph lives in her house but Kathryn Hahn did state in an interview with The New York Times that she was still stuck in this persona. This also means that the spell would remain even after the Hex closed.
When going over what was next for the character Hahn said:
“Agatha needed to rest for a hot second. She’s been very restless. For the moment, I think she’s actually OK to just loosen the corset and sit and have a muffin and a latte.”
Will We See Agatha Again?
Hahn stated that Marvel were keeping tight-lipped over whether she would return but the actress said she’d definitely be up for doing more. The Times even asked if she thought there was a chance of her fitting the mentor role similar to the comics and here’s what she said.
“I felt that very strongly too, at the end of that, there was a possibility that we’d join up.”
So it does seem like Agatha will be returning. I’m not even sure if the people of Westview know she and Agnes were one and the same so maybe she’s just gonna sit back and watch the Kevin Spoilers show featuring Chevy Spoilers.
Fatman Beyond Postcast Answers
Now for a lot of the other questions, I wanna go to the Fatman Beyond Podcast hosted by Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin. The pair have just had a big interview with Matt Shakman the series director who cleared up a lot of confusion.
Series Length
He did say that the show was originally supposed to be 10 episodes long but they cut them down in order to streamline the series.
Doctor Strange
It’s also being reported that the Doctor Strange cameo was supposed to pop up in this tenth entry but that it was taken out so that the plot point could appear in his upcoming movie. If you’ve been following our coverage of the show then you’ll know that I’ve often said that I thought the show would end with Wanda on her own without Vision and this would be because it would be confusing for fans who only watch the films to go from Endgame to Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.
Therefore I’m predicting that Strange will just pop up and pay some lip service to the show in which he talks about how she’s dabbled in magic that involves her bringing her husband back to life and creating children. Thus, when White Vision pops up down the line, those that haven’t seen the show will simply be able to go back to that bit and assume that this is what he’s referring to.
Now that’s me just guessing but my gran actually loves the MCU but she doesn’t have the internet so they need to stop Marvel maniacs like her from getting lost.
Cut Scene
Shakman also revealed that there was a big scene they cut that involved Monica and the kids sneaking into Agatha’s basement to steal the Darkhold. This kinda dived off from a conversation about everyone being Mephisto and I don’t wanna say Mephisto…but…but it’s not Mephisto.
Accidental Easter eggs
Now In the interview, they also went over some easter eggs and ones that were and weren’t intentional.
It actually turns out that the Kickass one wasn’t and it was just a happy accident. As for the Aerospace engineer, the director revealed that this line was reworked and messed about with during shooting but that they didn’t actually expect the internet to run with it as they did.
It was always intended to be Major Goodner and the only reason that Shakman said he didn’t come and clear this up whilst the hype was running wild is that people would’ve got their answers eventually anyway.
Jimmy Woo’s Missing Person
Now another big question is who is Jimmy Woo’s missing person in the Witness Protection Programme.
This is still something that hasn’t been answered but lend me your ear as we discuss the two possibilities. Now the first is the Mailman who says ‘Don’t shoot I’m just a messenger.’ He repeats this throughout the show and if he was wanted by people for snitching, then it’s likely that he would be worried about being killed.
Typically someone is put under witness protection because they give information to the police that puts them in grave danger.
Mailmen also deliver information so the ties are there if you like a reach and we all know that we here at the channel reach for the stars.
The other possibility is that it’s actually Ralph Bohner….who…heheheh Bohner.
Now, this holds weight for several reasons.
Firstly we know that Jimmy Woo and Hayward were both concerned about this missing person which is why the latter sent Monica to track him down. However, this plot point is dropped quicker than Vision when Wanda learns she can get herself a bad boy and it never comes back up.
Now the reason why this could be is that the pair actually learn that the missing person is in Westview when he shows up on Wanda’s doorstep. It’s kinda funny how immediately after his arrival all the attention switches to Wanda and it could be because them seeing him her confirms that he’s ok.
Witness Protection
When we get his true identity it’s also on a weird headshot of himself. Now I dunno about you but I’m pretty self-obsessed and even I don’t have photos of myself lying around with my name on.
What I do know about though is the Witness Protection programme. You see I used to be called Deffinition but after I spoiled Endgame I had to go into hiding because Mickey Mouse wanted me dead.
I was given a cover story and a piece of paper with my photo and name on it so that I could learn it and this is very similar to what we see here.
The fact that Ralph laughs at his own name as well likely shows that it isn’t really his and therefore you can assume that he is actually the one in hiding.
Shakman did say that sitcoms do a lot of meta jokes all the time and that Evan Peters was picked to play Pietro for this exact reason. I don’t wanna be hard on him but it was a bit of a flop though I can see things from his perspective. Let’s be honest, if this was just some random actor we likely wouldn’t have even cared about the character but the fact that it was Peter’s kept us coming back.
Shakman stated that the X-men are coming so don’t worry and hopefully we get a Ralph Bohner Disney Plus show in 2022.
Quicksilver
Now there are theories that he’s actually still Quicksilver and that he was put in witness protection and given a new identity because he’s from another earth and they don’t want people asking questions. I’m not getting yanked on that anymore though and I have accepted that this might be the only time we see him in the MCU, I hope not though.
What Happened to the Beekeeper?
Another question we don’t have the answer to is what happened to the Beekeeper.
Shakman still hasn’t answered it and I know this is your questions answered video I don’t just wanna leave questions out of it as I know people will ask why I didn’t talk about them.
Now there are two possibilities with the most extreme one being that he became Swarm. Because we know that the Hex grants powers to people if they pass in and out of it, a similar situation to what happened with Monica may have happened to him. We know that his name is Franklin and in the comics, Swarms alter ego is Fritz so Fr…Fr…it’s a freach.
Personally, I don’t really believe that and I think that what happened is just in the same way that Wanda and Vision ended up back in the house after she rewound time, he likely ended up going back through the sewers.
White Vision
There’s also White Vision and though it feels like we should’ve got answers to what happened to him, Jac Shaeffer the showrunner said
‘There’s no scene of where White Vision is in the world because the point is that he’s not her guy. That’s not the man that she had children with. That’s not the one who’s been in the sitcom world with him. That’s not the one that she said goodbye to on a hill in Wakanda. That’s the body and the data. So for the purposes of me and my job on the show, and what I focus on, where he ends up is an afterthought to the story proper.’
So he is out there still and will likely be popping up in a property down the line. Personally, I think he went to Wakanda but we do know that he will be back, potentially to stop Wanda from going off the deep end.
Anyway, that’s all and I hope you enjoyed us clearing some things up and giving the possibilities for the other things we didn’t get clarity on. If you request elaboration then the comments are the perfect place to go as I’m sure someone much smarter than me will have an answer for you.
